Much ado about the Pike Plan

Stephen M. Finkle, Director of Economic Development for the city of Kingston, sent Freeman reporter Paul Kirby a copy of Uptown's Pike Plan.

Finkle writes:

The first section shows items to be demolished, the second shows construction.
Note that much of the structure is not being demolished- that the roofs will be replaced and skylights installed; columns will be repaired and about 20% of the columns will be eliminated to allow for more visibility behind them. You should probably look at the construction drawings after page 24 for a view of the finished product.
